Mrw we're actually living through the End of Halloween

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

What if I'm an archaeologist, Francis

The End of History means no more fun spooky skeleton imagery. The less fun spooky skeleton imagery, the more History is Ended.

Death to America

A liberal writer who fears the Lacanian real? Turns out that her mountains of pages of text are just a weak defense against existential horror lmao, liberalism is literally an ideology for frightened delusional children hiding from the dark

Halloween is so cancelled.

[–] SaniFlush@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago

Oh no I’ve been spooked

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I once saw some people say Halloween is reactionary because Zombies and Mummies are African things that white people find scary. Also that the word Spooky is a slur.

[–] DoghouseCharlie@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wouldn't be surprised to see those kinds of takes on here, to be honest.

[–] iie@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

spook apparently does have some history as a slur for black people

It sure makes trying to explain egoism to libs annoying. stirner-cool

It's also the name of one of the cats in Top Cat.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

I don't see them talking about how Halloween is Irish cultural appropriation of Samhain

[–] DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago

Just wait until they accidentally stumble into a Dia de los Muertos parade

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

I swear we going to be a Halloween/Christmas mode the day after labor day in a year's time. I already saw the "holiday" peppermint flavors of things in my local big-box grocery. bern-disgust

That would not simply be another skirmish in the war on Christmas, but perhaps the beginning of a hot war amongst the holidays

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Best part of Halloween is it provides a strong bulwark, a line in the sand past which the Christmas season cannot cross.

[–] Orcocracy@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Halloween needs to conduct a defensive first strike on November to put an end to the continuing provocation of Christmas’ aggressive expansion across the calendar.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Don't tell anybody but the apple and pumpkin pies at Thanksgiving are our beachhead. Extending our influence with autumnal fruits and gourds.

Comrade Jack Skellington shouldn't have stopped at the North Pole. skeleton-motorcycle

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Silly decorations like this are at least 50% of why I want to live in a house.

[–] SlyBlue@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Halloween destroys local festivities but I like dressing cute so it's a good holiday

[–] macabrett@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

its so disrespectful that you have a skeleton beneath your skin, there are people who have died

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Twitter has been surreal because I grew up thinking Joyce Carol Oates and writers like her were geniuses. I read her novel Zombie like three times. Black Water is good too, and whichever the one was about the kid who becomes a prophet. Yet she is consistently just goofy and condescending on twitter

I used to worship William Gibson too and that's been harder. He's the most lib person imaginable in Twitter and I have no idea how to reconcile it's the same guy who wrote Mona Lisa Overdrive.

For some reason Stephen King being a turbo lib hasn't hit me as hard, possibly because he made fun of himself in his books, so I already thought of him as kinda goofy.

PSA: please remember that plastic is bad for the environment and climate, instead try to use organic skeletons, preferably locally sourced billionaires
